Dawkins is going to be there? But… But… I thought he was dead? The warm, loving, compassionate, Christ-like Christians already held his funeral:

Actually, do yourself a favor and don’t follow that link.

Richard is going to do what Jeebus couldn’t-rise from the ashes like the Phoenix.
Seriously though, that demented preacher is another Phelps wannabe. He may be related to Bush, what with the way he reads. The only people he’s going to reach out to with his campy scare tactics are the deluded idiots already won over.
This guy has a website of down-home videos on God’s word delivered as he uses his chainsaw and stacks his woodpile. Not to mention a 1992 video on the “Homosexual Agenda”.
I am considering going. I live in St Paul. It is an easy trip on the train from MoA.
Wow, I had a hallucinatory dream last night, the same exact kind of hallucination I would get as an xian (I used to think these things came from the holy spirit), except for it was as though my own mind was revealing things to me instead of something external to my psyche.
It felt as though intelligent thoughts were being channelled from my subconscious mind to my semi-conscious mind having to do with solving complicated problems related to business, politics, and in statistical dynamics of monetary policy (investing). Also, that Bad Religion song “Slumber” kept on playing on a mental loop in my mind for some reason.
Of course these are all things I can’t really implement in 1 day and I haven’t a f$cking clue where they came from (aside from my subconscious mind), but that shouldn’t stop me from enjoying the newfound illusionary dream of success should it?
“Well, I’ve got a piece of news son, that might make you change your mind, your life is historically meaningful, and spans a significant time”
It’s like a delusion of insignificance in my life just got lifted from my mind as I kept on hearing that line repeatedly!
“slumber will come soon, and you will help me put it (the delusion in this case) to sleep”

a chainsaw,a woodpile and a homo video sounds like some kind of movie.don’t let the grandkids catch you watching the adult channel.
Wow…another party.
It’s to bad AA doesn’t put as much effort into education as it does into parties…
Maybe you will be lucky and meet phreedumb there as he attends to get information from the belly of the beast as a reporter from the Jeebus Gnus Channel.
Hi,
This is Nicole from the
Blue Rose Rocket band.
You can check us out on our website and to link to our myspace.
(http://www.BlueRoseRocket.com/)
We will be selling our cds, video and book. Every little bit helps to pay for our legal bills. A lot of people do not know that we had civil lawyers even before Americain Atheist came on board. They are not cheap. We morgaged our ranch to pay for them. Heck we just sent out a check for transcripts we needed for the present case. So the bills will continue to rise.
So to those who have helped us thanks. And if you like what you hear at the show. Our new cd will be avalible.
And my dads book is avalible at (http://www.Scooterjournals.com/)
Hope to see you at the show. Look forward to Rock all Nite. My Dads pumped! Like the sound man at the Quite Riot Concert (we opened for) said ” You are one of the best opening acts I ever saw.” So Get ready!!!
Bye,
Nicole
Just wanted to mention Kwang’s website is http://www.kwangcity.com and our myspace is http://www.myspace.com/kwang
